I don't know whether it was a patch, but it was an update.
I think, M$ juggles the server address around for games to adjust for sever loads. Which is why so many games seem to receive an update, even though nothing seems to be changed. As games are less played, they move the address to a lower priority server within the great M$ online machine.
As far as I see, the only patch the 360 version should have is the settler growth and militia for gold changes that were applied to Sony(So they match). Of course we know how that went so I'd rather them just leave things as is.
If there ever was a needed change it would be to option disable the adviser and Civ pop ups.
Not because of annoyance, or it lack of its need on higher levels.
Because it severely adds to the DVDROM wear and tear. Every time one of these pop up, the laser moves to a different spot to access that data. Poor hardware to software management.
This stuff kills drives, and is why M$ is finally breaking down and enabling disc to HD Drive writing with the new dash. You'll still need the disc BTW. It ain't cause they love us, it's because they lose money on failure rates, and this is now the leading cause of 360 failure.
One day, I'll learn the art of short posts.
